Liverpool clash set to come too soon for Spurs newcomer Lucas

Tottenham have added the winger to their Champions League squad, but the new signing from PSG might have to wait for his Premier League bow

Lucas Moura's big-club experience will be a vital asset to Tottenham, according to Mauricio Pochettino, who concedes the Brazil forward is unlikely to make his Premier League debut against Liverpool this weekend.

Lucas completed an anticipated £25 million switch to Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day.

The arrival of his compatriot and friend Neymar at the Parc des Princes this season left the 25-year-old struggling for first-team opportunities under Unai Emery, but he now comes in to bolster Tottenham's ambitions at home and abroad.
